A group of friends vow to do whatever it takes to stop evil corporate overlords from destroying the Earth. How? They aren’t sure. They explore various strategies, but so far nothing has worked. As they build a resistance movement, those who love them the most can be their biggest obstacles.

Massive unemployment is a disaster for workers whose survival depends on selling their labor, but it really isn’t, in itself, a problem for the ruling class (though it does have the relatively minor drawback of lowering voluntary consumption). If they create more jobs, the problem of overproduction would actually get worse. But high unemployment and cuts in social programs work out quite nicely for them, because soon we’ll be screaming for jobs and willing to accept any pathetic wages. And they can always increase involuntary consumption (and they do) by privatizing previously public services, and making us pay for them through taxes.
